The film follows a man trapped in a cycle of digital consumption, self-optimisation, and quiet self-loathing. When an unexpected encounter confronts him with another person's success, his fragile sense of self begins to unravel. What once sounded like encouragement gradually transforms into an increasingly sinister internal monologue, exposing the destructive nature of his own expectations.
Visually, the film adopts a slow, melancholic, and atmospheric approach, transitioning between black-and-white and colour cinematography in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The film consists primarily of static, carefully composed shots, with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and visual storytelling.

Omschrijving
We are looking for an organised, proactive, and communicative 1st Assistant Director to join our small independent production.
This is a genuinely small-scale film, with only two sets, a limited number of shots, and a relatively simple narrative and visual approach. Most shots are static and carefully composed, so we anticipate a fairly manageable production in terms of logistics and scheduling.
The project is already well into pre-production, with the cast, location, and storyboard secured. We're looking for someone who can work closely with the director to translate the storyboard into a practical shot list and shooting schedule, help coordinate communication with cast and crew, and oversee the organisational side of production.
We're open to both experienced 1st ADs and emerging filmmakers looking to develop their skills in the role.
Periode
To shoot start/mid December (before the holidays)
